New Limited-Edition Room 101 Hybrid

A
new, limited-edition project with some familiar flavors is on the way
to market from the guys at Room 101, and will be arriving to retailers
as early as this week.

Combining
elements of two previous Room 101 releases, the Room 101 Namakubi
Ecuador is bits and pieces of the original Namakubi release and the Room
101 OSOK, the limited-run cigar produced in 2012 as a tribute to
photographer Edgar Hoill.

“With
the Room 101 brand we really like to explore and push the boundaries
with different flavor profiles,” said Dylan Austin, head of marketing
for Room 101 Cigars. “The Room 101 Namakubi Ecuador is the product of us
combining two of our greatest successes to see if we could create
something truly unique. With this new blend, we’ve done just that. The
Room 101 Namakubi Ecuador is an absolute flavor machine.”

Honduran
and Dominican filler tobaccos are the elements pulled from the Namakubi
line (which had a Honduran wrapper), while the Ecuadoran wrapper leaf
and Honduran binder are sourced from the OSOK project.

Four
familiar sizes will be available in this new hybrid blend: Papi Chulo
(4 inches by 42 ring), Filero (4 1/2 by 52), Ranfla (5 1/2 by 50) and
Chingon (8 by 60). While the small Papi Chulo is a common parejo size
across many of the Room 101 lines, the other three sizes are all
perfectos, mirroring the three sizes of the Room 101 OSOK release.

Retailing
from $6 to $12 per stick, the perfectos will come in boxes of ten,
while the Papi Chulo will be available in boxes of 50. The brand is made
in Honduras at the Tabacos Rancho Jamastran factory where Camachos are
also produced.
